    Since I have allergy issues along with celiac disease I have to pack my food everyday. A few suggestions of things I take with me are: Quinoa/veggies in a plastic container to heat up in microwave 1/4 c quinoa in the microwave for about 8-10 minutes I add pepper, fresh ginger to it Then some frozen veggies...

    I play indoor and outdoor soccer 4 times a week as well as training at the gym. Due to my food allergies and celiac disease I am really limited, but these are a few things that I do to boost my energy: Drink Blue Sky's Blue Energy drink, it is gluten-free it has 1000mg of taurine which really boosts my energy level up. I order it from Whole Foods...

    I am also allergic to corn (and soy)- and corn is found in a lot of medications as well as foods. Ibuprofin and Tylenol have corn derivatives in them. Anything with Xantham Gum is corn. So like hidden gluten, could you be getting hidden corn somewhere?

    I called the manufacturer while shopping to check on gluten-free status. Asked if they were on a dedicated line, the answer given: Whatever is on the line and considered an allergen, including wheat/gluten would be listed in the ingredients listing, even if it is not one of the ingredients of the product. I gave her the barcode on the box, and there was...

    I didn't see this on the gluten-free list, my doctor prescribed it twice a day instead of the usual 2 tabs at the same time so that it wouldn't be so hard on my stomach: February 21, 2005 Page 2 of 2 Requested Information Enclosed is the information that you requested. Ketek tablets do not contain gluten. Thank you for your interest in Aventis Pharmaceuticals...

    just as an fyi - Blue Sky's Blue Energy drink if gluten-free, though hard to find. I have 2 stores order it for me. blueskysodas.com

    lindasheppard - You are not alone! And I felt pretty much the way you do now, when I found out that I had celiac disease. I am allergic to most proteins and lots of fruits and veggies too. I had to eliminate them from my diet. The only thing I can tolerate is a (very) small amount of corn, which is fortunate because similar to gluten, corn is in everything...

    Like everyone is saying - hang in there! I felt so deprived when I first went shopping - I eat no meat and have many other food allergies as well. I used to get frustrated and just leave the store before I was through shopping. I found that planning my shopping trip; making a small list after researching foods on the net was easier to do rather than being...

    Take your decongestant with some food - otherwise you will definitely feel sick. I had a fill-in allergy doctor prescribe an inhaler for me since my old prescription had expired. And guess what? that inhaler (emergency) sucks. I would hate to think what would happen if I had a "closing your lungs down" attack (like when I ingest soy). Fortunately, I have...

    MSM Quercetin Multi-enzyme DGL - really helps distilled aloe vera juice - very healing zinc potassium I tried probiotics - my system isn't ready for them yet - going to try again later. Since I tend to be allergic to one thing or another in a multivitamin, I take most of mine individually as well as trying to get things like Vit A, iron etc...

    I just took my son to Longhorn's for his birthday and I thought I might give them a try with my altered gluten-free card. I added all my food allergies as well. I knew that I could eat their baked potato anyway. The manager came out to ask me if they could put my non-marinated salmon (the only fish I can eat w/o repercussions) in a separate dish and...

    Balsamic Vinegar or molasses for color, vinegar would add a tart flavor, and molasses a sweeter flavor.

    My doctor recommended taking biotin (along with patience) to help hair growth. Fyi: an average adult can lose 60-70 hair strands a day as a part of natural shedding. Also for scalp issues, check your shampoo, conditioner, and any other hair products (sprays, gels) for wheat proteins. Once I eliminated those products I noticed a big difference on my...

    I haven't found any pita pockets (used to live on them) but I did invest in an electric tortilla maker - Villaware (I'm allergic to yeast too, so no bread). Since I have a ton of other food allergies I'm limited in the flour area. So, a mixture of tapioca, quinoa, and potato flours with flax meal instead of shortening has turned out pretty good. Rice...

    ARCHIVED Rice Pasta

    aaascr replied to a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

    I'd like to know where to get other brands too. So far, Mrs. Leepers Rice spaghetti is not too bad, Notta Pasta is okay. I don't recommend Lundbergs rice pasta it has a funny flavor - I think.

    Perhaps a more holistic doctor to help with the obvious symptoms? I, too have many other health issues (3 types of arthritis, many allergies, asthma, raynauds and now celiac disease) and totally understand where you're coming from. I am slowly getting back energy to where I can function again and it was with the help of an md who is also holistic minded...

    I have learned to cook 'n carry: My bosses eat out for lunch all the time - I am expected to go with them. One of the owners of a local restaurant we've frequented got mad when I brought my food in. They already knew about my food allergies... the server said she felt sorry for me after learning that I had celiac disease too. But the owner yelled out...

    (PS) there is a website - raynauds.org - not a whole lot of info but some to get you started. aa

    Gretchen: You mentioned that your feet cramp - I have Raynaud's, but during my onset of celiac disease I got sit-down-crying-holding-your-feet cramps. Once my body was able to take in nutrients again, specifically potassium, the cramps eventually subsided., I still have cold feet (and wear socks to bed). Maybe check on nutrient/mineral levels? aa

    A lot of what I have been diagnosed with as an adult was excused as a kid - ie. hay fever, growing pains, lazy, slow-poke, etc. It seems that what ailed us before now has designated names. For instance, my mom had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, no one knew what it was back then (30's), at least not where she grew-up, they just knew she was sick - their...

    Yup! Whenever I have that 3:00pm slump @ work I have a few spoonsful and it perks me right up. I also have some an hour or so before my soccer games or working out and I seem to have more stamina! Works for me . aa

    answer to protein question, it's been tough to find something that I'm not allergic to - but I did find Nutiva's shelled hemp seed, which I eat daily. There is a rice protein product too but I haven't had time yet to see if it's gluten-free. Besides the hemp seed tastes better. With regard to the food combining - it worked for me and I think if one chooses...
